Design and implement a reproducible way to build and pack a release branch #10521
Description
Suggested enhancement
In order to streamline releases we need a non ambigious way to perform a set of standard actions on top of a release branch. Those actions are defined by our release process:
- Assemble the changelog
- Update the date to the release date on Changlog and documentation
- Bump the version.
- Create the autogenerated files
- Pack the release in a tarball while removing the git information.
Implementation is adressed by Mbed-TLS/mbedtls-framework#231 (comment)
Justification
Mbed TLS needs this because it facilitates release creation and streamlines reviews.
